  1. My days are numbered in this old Mack after 25 years in the Intermodal field as I’m retiring and getting a local job here at the house. It’s been fun. I’ve drove this truck since it was new in 2016 had no problems but general maintenance and a sensor or to go out.
  2. Here’s some more pics of it working it this year. Just lately I racked some old Grass Hay and plowed my Field with it so I can plant some Winter Wheat
  3. Thanks. I would like to get a CA with a Belly mower to cut the grass I think there neat.
  4. Here’s some more pics of my Transtar when I had it leased to the same company I’m driving for now. These were taken back in 1995.
  5. Here’s a pic of my old 1976 Autocar A64B I use to show. Had a 290 Cummins with a 13 speed. I was the second owner of the truck I had it for 19 years before selling it.
  6. Here’s a pic of my old Autocar A64b dad and I restored before he passed away. I sold it 2yrs ago I had it for 19 years I sold it because of my severe Arthritis and I could no longer keep the truck in the shape I want it instead of keeping it and rusting to ground I sold it to someone who is going to keep it going.
  7. Did you like that V8 Mack Engine? I never ran one. I drove a 1964 Mack B with the Thermodyne and a Triplex wish I could remember what size that engine was. Thanks for sharing I enjoy reading what us older Truckers had drove brings back memories I just can like these new trucks but like you I enjoy the Power they have now.
  8. Never pulled those lowboys my hats off to you and those guys lots of respect for them. I’ve drove Mack’s most of my career it’s nice to drive one with Air Ride but it still rides like a Mack I wouldn’t have it any other way.
  9. Not really pull the pin drop the airbags pull out from under it. I’ve been in the intermodal trucking for 24 years with the same company never had a problem. Been driving for 31 i’m a fourth generation trucker
  10. Parallel parking a Chassis to be stacked earlier this week
  11. After 7 years of sitting I finally got this old girl running this Spring. Here’s some pics of it working
  12. Here’s this week’s. I’m getting a load of AG Equipment to Brazil
  13. Here’s a pic of me unloading a mixed load of wine from overseas. The wine had to stay chilled at 69 degrees Fahrenheit
  14. Some more nice Gateway pics. I’ve tried to catch that Yellow Super Dog but he’s always going down the highway and I can’t catch a pic of him
  15. That’s what I did when I sold mine. Got it Running. Glad you adopted that Puppy. Keep us posted
  16. Here’s the last pics I took of your truck about a year before you bought it. I was in love with that truck but I knew with my severe arthritis I could never restore it like I did my Autocar. Glad you got it and it wasn’t scraped or parts out.
  17. I think they still have one in Troy Illinois at the Freightliner education center that’s the one I used to go to a lot it’s in September I can find out for you the show dates in St Louis. To bad you didn’t find my Autocar before I sold it I think you would have really liked that truck.
  18. That’s neat he was still showing it in 2001 that’s the first year I started showing my 1976 Autocar. I’ll try to find those pics or I know a guy who might. Here’s my old Autocar I’m sure your dad will recognize the paint scheme or you will
  19. Yes they did and when driving them it seemed to me it wasn’t as wide as most Cabovers were like some of the old White Freightliners I drove
  20. Here’s a pic of a 1964 Emeryville my dad drove. The truck was new when my mom took this picture. The kid on the truck is my older brother I didn’t come off the assembly line till 4 years later.
  21. It had a 430 Detroit (2 Stroke) with a Fuller 13 speed I can’t remember what rear ends it had and it also had a Reyco suspension. This Detroit was a Boat anchor I wish it had a 318 older style I never had trouble running a 318 but this 430 was a piece of junk.
  22. Here’s a pic of me and my 1970 International pickup. I was 16 years old in this pic quit school bought this truck and started trucking with it. I would work this truck during the day and go to GED classes at night so I did finish my education after all.
